Literally had to show up the day I’m stuck generating reports for the ole BoD at work.
I need more Tudor and less EBITDA today. More to come this evening, for the 4/5 digit folks it’s basically a titanium version of it. Rashed the clasp already on my desk ETA: props to my AD, he called while I was on the way to lunch. Told him I gotta be quick, had it ready for de-stickering and sizing when I walked in. Also if the BB Pro was 12mm thick I’d of bought it too. |

Thats sexy for sure. No date is the way.

Good looking watch..

I tried that whole cancer thing. It wasn't for me. Good Riddance.

I'm very picky about watches. They need to meet a certain criteria before I will wear one (and be happy about it). I mean, for the last 25 years, my wallets have been Tumi ballistic nylon, and my carry-on is Heartman.
This watch fits the bill. I approve of this selection. Is this a piece of a collection of yours, or is it your EDC? |

Whoa, I was passingly familiar with the name brand, but I had no idea what they went for.
Damn. Just 'damn'. Nice watch. No cap, and way, way out of my league.. (edited) |

I'm down to really 4 watches, 5 if you count my go to G-Shock. This, CWC '83 re-issue, MKII Vantage, and the Sub. EDC wise I usually wear the ole trusty Sub, but this will carry at least 1/2 of the daily wear if not more. I'm a big fan of titanium watches and have said if they made a 39mm Pelagos or a Titanium Sub, I would have one. Tudor did . So I made room in the collection over the past year and threw some money in a shoebox and then waited. |

Absolutely perfect. 21mm lug width is becoming more and more popular. I suspect we'll start seeing more straps in that size.
I just read WOE's new article about Tudor this morning. He did a perfect synopsis comparing Rolex to Tudor. I think you'd approve. Essentially saying that Tudor hasn't lost their 'tool' roots like Rolex has. This Pelagos 39 embodies the tool watch we love Tudor for. I love wearing my watches on nylon and leather, but it would be hard for me to take off that titanium bracelet. Damn near perfection. No question, I'd rather have the P39 over a ceramic Sub any day of the week. Anxious to see more pictures of it! |
|

The 39 is so hot. So is the Black Bay Pro. I thought long and hard but the FXD just spoke to my heart.
Pelagos is the tool watch of Switzerland. Its epic good. |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By x_red_beard_x:. No question, I'd rather have the P39 over a ceramic Sub any day of the week. Anxious to see more pictures of it! After owning the 114060 and 124060 - I fully agree. I also say that from a position of having a Sub and this. For some the Sub is the grail for many reasons and is a great example of get both. I’m not yet at the “which would I buy between the two” position. Give me 90 days and I’ll let ya know Then again I’m a big fan of 4/5 digit sports models over the newer maxi case Subs. However, as noted in other threads, a new Sub from the AD is the financial move over an older model (no way I’d pay $9-11k for a 16610). The build quality is excellent and I’m a massive fan of titanium watches, some are not though. Originally Posted By CFII: The 39 is so hot. So is the Black Bay Pro.

Very cool. Super interested to see what kind of accuracy you get with this piece. Looks amazing!
I am with you, I'd probably never take it off the bracelet! |

cool pick up, i take it that's the 39mm rather than the 41 Pelagos size?
I have loved Tudors from the reading I've done over the last few years but finally got my hands on one in person for the first time last week. It's been a "mild" obsession for a 41 Pelagos blue titanium since I first saw it. I have a work bonus coming up, along with a milestone birthday, and I'm having a hard time not making an expensive impulse purchase. |

That quick adjust one is on the BB Pro I think. I damn near bought that watch because of that clasp.

Originally Posted By williedikker72: So which one wears better? I like the the curves and the thinner case back of the Tudor looking at those pics. How do you like the quick adjustment on the Tudor?

View Quote I’ve owned the following Sub references: - 5513 - 14060 - 14060M - 16610 (current) - 114060 - 124060 I’ve also had the 39mm Explorer, reference 214270. This is the most comfortable watch on a bracelet I’ve ever worn. The titanium + “oyster” + clasp make this beyond perfect on the wrist. No shit, it’s really freaking good. There is no top heavy feel due to a stainless head (notably so on 114060/124060). Just equilibrium on the wrist. It’s like wearing my GW-5000 G Shock, it’s just there. I have a 6.75” wrist so I set it up where my base “cold” setting would be setting “0”. So far I’ve only bumped it up a notch after a few Wellers or it warmed up. It’s not as refined as glidelock nor omegas clasp system, but it’s simple and effective. |
